Yup, you'll know. They will probably fight for it, if it ever happens. Some dogs couldn't care less about their pack order. Earle is like that. He just doesn't care. How old are your girls? Both spayed right? I would expect that if they are both adults(over 2 or so) that the pack order would be pretty stable until one of them is older and begining to weaken. Then things might switch around.

Some trainers say that you should reinforce the alpha dog by feeding them first, petting them first ect. I don't do any of that. As long as they remember that I am the boss of all of them, the dominant ones included, I don't care about their pack order. They can work that out among themselves.
